Krishnamohan Rao and his family in a PIL of 2012, challenging the allotment of two acres (where RK Cineplex is located) in 1984. The land was given in Survey No. 403/1 of Banjara Hills at Rs.8,500 per acre to construct a recording and re-recording theatre.
The TDP government allowed the construction of a mini-theatre, film training institute and a conference hall in 2003. However, the family built a commercial complex. Challenging the same, in 2012 a PIL was filed before the High Court.
Last year, the court issued notices but did not receive acknowledgement. Following this, a High Court bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar on Thursday, once again issued notices and set the matter for the third week of January.
